Right, my XP fucked up yesterday, I installed Vista Ultimate x86 today, I bought my creative sound card 2 years ago. I don't have a clue what it is, all I can remember is it is a soundblaster something or other, is there a way I can find out which card it is?

Sound ain't working btw, if it helps my mobo is a Gigabyte GA965DS3 I think.

That only showed "High definition audio device".

I figured it out though, I made a topic in tech before I bought it, asking for advice, and it was Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Music" or something, the good thing is, those drivers worked.

Thanks for the help dude.

No problem, but strange, it gives me a full name of my card, also a Creative card.
